DETECTION OF FINANCIAL TARGET, FINANCE STABILITY AND EXTERNAL PRESSURE FACTORS ON FRAUDULENT FINANCIAL REPORTING WITH MARKET CAPITALIZATION AS A MODERATOR VARIABLE IN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES

Monika Yovita, Budi Rustandi Kartawinata, Aldi Akbar
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effect of Financial Target, Financial Stability, and External Pressure on Financial Statement Fraud, with Market Capitalization as a moderating variable, in manufacturing companies listed on… n the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2017–2019. The research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression analysis with the Common Effect Model (CEM) and the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) technique. The data were obtained from the financial statements of manufacturing companies that met the sampling criteria over a three-year observation period. The results indicate that Financial Target (ROA) has a positive and significant effect on financial statement fraud. Financial Stability (INVSAL and CATA) also shows a significant effect but in different directions: INVSAL increases, while CATA decreases the likelihood of fraudulent financial reporting. External Pressure (FREEC) has a negative and significant effect on financial statement fraud. The moderating variable, Market Capitalization, was found to strengthen the effect of CATA and weaken the effect of INVSAL on financial statement fraud. The R² value of 17.52% indicates that the research model explains a moderate portion of the variation in financial statement fraud among manufacturing firms in Indonesia. These findings support Agency Theory and the Fraud Triangle Theory, suggesting that financial pressure, stability, and external conditions play a crucial role in influencing the occurrence of financial statement fraud.

THE RELEVANCE OF IBNU MISKAWAIH'S THOUGHTS ON CHARACTER EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL MEDIA

Fajar Rahman, Bahtiar Siregar, Elsa Padia, Ulil Amri, Kiki Hardini
Abstract: The purpose of this research is to examine how Ibn Miskawayh’s thoughts on moral education influence the management of moral challenges in the current social media era. Various ethical issues such as cyberbullying, the spread… spread of hoaxes, and the lack of politeness in communication have emerged alongside the increase in digital platform usage, indicating a decline in digital morals. This study is a qualitative research using the library research method. The primary data are drawn from Ibn Miskawayh’s seminal work, Tahdhib al-Akhlaq, which is analyzed using content analysis and descriptive-philosophical methods. The results show that Ibn Miskawayh’s concept of moral education remains relevant as a foundation for digital ethics through three main pillars: first, the concept of al-wasat (moderation) which trains social media users to be wise and proportional in consuming information; second, the strengthening of cognitive power (al-quwwah al-nathiqah) to filter negative content; and third, the formation of character based on internal self-control to achieve justice (‘adalah) when interacting in virtual public spaces. The conclusion of this research confirms that Ibn Miskawayh’s thoughts provide a curative and preventive framework for building a more civilized and ethical digital ecosystem.

THE INFLUENCE OF TRUST AND RISK ON THE USE OF QRIS WITH FRAUD ISSUES AS A MODERATING VARIABLE IN BANDUNG

Indah Kusprasetya, Budi Rustandi Kartawinata, Aldi Akbar
Abstract: The development of digital payment systems has driven the increasing use of the Indonesian Standard Quick Response Code (QRIS) as a practical and integrated cashless transaction method. Although QRIS adoption continues to… o increase, its continued use is still influenced by trust, perceived risk, and the prevalence of fraud in digital transactions. This study aims to analyze the influence of trust and risk on QRIS use, with fraud as a moderating variable, in the city of Bandung. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey of 200 QRIS user respondents. The data analysis technique used was Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that trust had a positive and significant effect on QRIS use, while risk had a negative and significant effect. Furthermore, fraud moderated the relationship between trust and QRIS use by weakening the influence of trust, and moderated the relationship between risk and QRIS use by strengthening the influence of risk. These findings confirm that although QRIS offers convenience and efficiency, perceptions of risk and fraud remain crucial factors influencing usage behavior. This research is expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of digital payment technology adoption models and provide practical implications for regulators, payment service providers, and MSMEs in strengthening security, improving digital literacy, and building user trust in the QRIS payment system.

Yunus, Siregar, Bahtiar, Daely, Siti Arfah, Putri, Zikriya Husna Aulia, Hamid, Faisal
Abstract: Arabic language learning in pesantren is not conducted solely through the formal curriculum but also through habituation processes that are internalized in the students’ daily lives. Bī’ah lughawiyyah functions as a language… language environment that serves as a hidden curriculum at Pesantren Ar-Raudlatul Hasanah, namely an implicit curriculum that shapes language competence in a natural and sustainable manner. This study aims to analyze the role of bī’ah lughawiyyah as a hidden curriculum and its influence on the improvement of students’ speaking ability (mahārat al-kalām). This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research participants consist of students, Arabic language instructors, and pesantren administrators. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of language-related activities. The data were analyzed thematically through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with data validity strengthened through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that bī’ah lughawiyyah functions as a hidden curriculum through Arabic language policies, the exemplary practices of instructors, the habituation of communication in daily pesantren life, and non-formal social reinforcement. These practices contribute positively to the enhancement of students’ kalām ability, particularly in terms of speaking confidence, fluency, and spontaneity in oral communication. The findings confirm that bī’ah lughawiyyah as a hidden curriculum plays a strategic role in Arabic language acquisition. Therefore, optimizing the language environment should be positioned as an integral component of Arabic language curriculum development in pesantren.

OVERTIME TRAP: LITERATURE REVIEW BURNOUT MECHANISM AND DECLINING WORK–LIFE BALANCE

Rusidari, Agung Surya Dwianto
Abstract: Overtime has become a strong feature of modern work culture, especially in high-pressure sectors in Asia, such as manufacturing, logistics, and services. Although many studies have proven the link between long working hours… urs and the deterioration of employee welfare, the mechanisms explaining how overtime causes an imbalance between work and personal life (Work-life Balance) have not yet been fully explored and pieced together. This narrative literature review aims to synthesize findings from key and recent studies published between 2000 and 2025. The goal is to form a conceptual framework of understanding how overtime can trigger burnout (emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion) and ultimately disrupt WLB. Based on four main theoretical foundations, namely Job Demands–Resources (JD-R), Conservation of Resources (COR), Effort Recovery Model, and Work–Home Resources Model, this review identifies three main pathway mechanisms: (1) Overtime increases job demands while simultaneously reducing opportunities for self-recovery. (2) Burnout, especially emotional exhaustion, acts as a psychological strain that mediates the effects of overtime. (3) The spillover effects of burnout trigger interference between work and home domain through time based conflicts and strain. Organizational support, job autonomy, family roles, marital status, gender and workload pressure are important moderators that can strengthen or weaken the relationship between each variable. While the theoretical contribution of this review lies in combining various perspectives into a conceptual model of the "overtime trap," its practical contribution lies in proposing implications for organizations, job redesign, fatigue management, and more adaptive work policies. Future research is expected to use longitudinal, mixed-method, and cross-cultural designs to validate, strengthen and expand this model.

LITERATURE REVIEW: THE INFLUENCE OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE WITH THE ROLE OF WORK ENVIRONMENT MEDIATION AND MANAGEMENT STYLE

Yuni Nur Wulandari, Agung Surya Dwianto
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the Influence of performance appraisal on employee performance by considering the mediating role of the work environment and management style. Performance appraisal is a strategic tool in human… resource management to assess employee achievements and provide feedback. However, its effectiveness is often influenced by the conditions of the work environment and the leadership style applied by the organization. Through a literature review of Scopus-indexed journals from 2020–2025, this study identifies the relationship between performance appraisal, work environment, management style, and employee performance. The review results show that a fair and transparent appraisal system can enhance employee motivation and performance. The work environment acts as an important mediator because comfortable and supportive conditions influence employees' responses to feedback. In addition, transformational and participative management styles strengthen the positive impact of appraisal
